West Virginia Lottery Winner

$25,000 JACKPOT WON IN WEST VIRGINIA

"I Yelled and Screamed, 'I Just Won $25,000!'"

As my readers know, I am absolutely delighted to hear from people who have won using my systems;
so, as you could guess, I was excited when I opened the following letter from Chad Casson. One
thing which struck me in the letter was Chad playing regularly with his father. I think it's
wonderful that responsible playing of the lottery can be a hobby that parents and children can
share, and it made me even happier that the use of my systems helped make it a boon for them
financially as well as emotionally.

"Dear Gail,

"I am excited to tell you that I recently won my first jackpot at the age of only 18. For years I
have been "watching" the lottery with my father as sort of a hobby, When I turned 18, on July 27
of this year, I began playing the lottery using strategies that I learned from your report State
lotteries: How to get in it and how to win it-4th edition and your book
Lotto How to Wheel a Fortune.

"I knew that your systems would not fail me because my father (without the benefit of your recent
book of powerful wheeling systems) still managed to cash three prizes of over $1,000 in the past
eight years.

"I had been running late all day on the 2nd. A number of setbacks left me rushing to fill out my
225 bet slips and speeding the 50 miles away from my home in PA to the nearest on line lottery
retailer past the border. In this case, it was a Truckstops of America in Valley Grove. The
cashier there told me that I had gotten my tickets played within five minutes of the machine
ceasing to accept tickets.

"During the nearly one-hour-long ride home, I decided to call the lottery's toll free winning
number hot line from a pay phone at a truck stop in Pennsylvania. As soon as I got the numbers,
I knew immediately that I had won at least a five-digit prize, since my power number, 2, had hit
as well as five of my other 17 numbers. I began eagerly checking over my tickets, expecting to
find at least one five-digit win. I was pleasantly and loudly surprised to find that I instead
had a jackpot-winning ticket. I was never in such a hurry to speed off from any location. It was
half fear for my life (due to a mixture of my loud exclamation of "I just won $25,000!" and the
surrounding burly truckers eyeing me up) and half sheer excitement.

Here are the specifics of my win:The Lotto:West Virginia's Cash 25The Date: September 2, 1994 (a mere 11 drawings after my birthday) The #s: 02-08-11-13-14-24The Wheel: Power Number® Lotto System 911 an 18 Number System The Cost: $225 The Prize: $25,000 plus another $334 in other small prizes

Thank you so much for the prize winning help.

Sincerely, Chad E. Casson "

I was also happy to note that I was credited with facilitating Chad's win in the news story released:

Charleston, WV - It took just a little more than a month for a Pennsylvania cashier to justify the
purchase of a book that advises readers about how to choose lottery numbers. Chad Casson, 18, of
Monogahela, PA, said he used Gail Howard's winning methods to select the six numbers that won him
the $25,000 top prize in the West Virginia Lottery's CASH 25 drawing on Friday, September 2.

Casson said he drove to Truck Stops of America in Valley Grove on Friday, and purchased his ticket
just before the 6:49 pm cutoff time. "When I was about halfway home, I stopped at a pay phone after
the drawing at 7 pm and called the toll free hotline to find out the winning numbers," he
explained. "When I learned I won, I yelled and screamed, 'I just won $25,000!'"

Fearing that someone might have over heard the exclamation and do him harm to lay claim to the
prize, Casson said he immediately rolled up his car window, and drove away. "I stopped later and
called my mother to tell her the good news," he said.

The winner said he plans to save most of his prize, but will use a portion to buy a computer; "a
top of the line system with the largest hard drive and the nicest monitor you can get," he added.
